The correct answer is B) hoped to capture French territory while France was weak.

Foreign countries invaded France during the Revolution because they hoped to capture French territory while France was weak.

During the many confrontations and battles in the French Revolution, France became a weak and vulnerable country through the eyes of its enemies. That situation represented an opportunity for countries such as Austria and Prussia, that saw this at the right time to get some French territories and declared war against France. The battle started in 1792 and later, in 1973, nations such as Spain, Great Britain, and the Netherlands formed the First Coalition.
